I can't reference mxs files that have been saved with 3.0.1.3
I recently upgraded my systems to the latest beta and now i get a crash every time i try to render an mxs-ref produced by this version. Old mxs objects are working!
I tried it in Sketchup 8, Max 2014 and Studio (all latest beta versions and the max plugin back to .28)

HELP!

And another problem - not sure, if this is plugin related or based on this mxs-ref problem. When i export a selection in Sketchup to mxs and try to reference this file in SU, nothing happens.
I can place other mxs files - even the one that is exported from max and crashes when i start the render - but not mxs files exported from SU.

ok, it seems to be the turbo smooth modifier... when i convert everything to editable poly and export it again -> no crash.

here are the files:

Maybe best to post this in the Max forum instead....

Can you send me the max file that you are using to export the mxs files ?, the turbo smooth modifier changes the way the plugin exports normals and I want to check it's not coming from a bug in the 3dsMax API. My email is radu@griffinlair.com

i thought this would be engine related since the crash occurs in Studio and SU too and i tested several max plugins down to .28 which was working for me with v3.0.1.

Here is the max file:

Thanks!

I can't reproduce the crash on my machine, can you try to download the latest early build and export the referenced mxs again and tell me if the problem persists ?

still crashing with mxs references exported with v3.0.33 of the plugin (referenced in a new scene in max)

Please confirm this simple repro using Studio 3.0.1.3:

1. Open Studio
2. File > Library > Objects > Primitives > Cube > Import
3. Create an instance of the imported cube
4. Save as "mxs-with-instance.mxs"
5. File > New
6. Object > New MXS Reference
7. Select "mxs-with-instance.mxs"
8. Render in FIRE or Maxwell

This should produce a crash. The only workaround appears to be to ensure that the referenced MXS contains no instances.
